The Polonyi Problem and Upper bound on Inflation Scale in Supergravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We reconsider the Polonyi problem in gravity-mediation models for supersymme-try (SUSY) breaking. It has been argued that there is no problem in the dynamical SUSY breaking scenarios, since the Polonyi field acquires a sufficiently large mass of the order of the dynamical SUSY-breaking scale Λ SUSY. However, we find that a linear term of the Polonyi field in the Kähler potential brings us back to the Polonyi problem, unless the inflation scale is sufficiently low, H inf < ∼ 10 8 GeV, or the reheating temperature is extremely low, T R < ∼ 100 GeV. Here, this Polonyi problem is more serious than the original one, since the Polonyi field mainly decays into a pair of gravitinos.

On the Solution to the Polonyi Problem with O(10 TeV) Gravitino Mass in Supergravity
We study the solution to the Polonyi problem where the Polonyi field weighs as O(10TeV) and decays just before the primordial nucleosynthesis. It is shown that in spite of a large entropy production by the Polonyi field decay, one can naturally explain the present value of the baryon-to-entropy ratio, nB/s ∼ (10−10 − 10−11) if the Affleck-Dine mechanism for baryogenesis works. It is pointed out...
متن کاملConstraints on Supergravity Chaotic Inflationary Models
We discuss, in the context of N = 1 hidden sector non-minimal supergravity chaotic inflationary models, constraints on the parameters of a polynomial superpotential resulting from existing bounds on the reheating temperature and on the amplitude of the primordial energy density fluctuations as inferred from COBE. We present a specific two-parameter chaotic inflationary model which satisfies the...

We study the Polonyi problem in the framework of no-scale type supergravity models. We show that the lightest superparticle (LSP) produced in the decay of the Polonyi field may contribute too much to the present density of the universe. By requiring that LSP should not overclose the universe, we obtain a stringent constraint on the reheating temperature after the decay of the Polonyi field. We ...
متن کاملQuintessence with two energy scales
We study quintessence models using low energy supergravity inspired from string theory. We consider effective supergravity with two scales mS , the string scale, and mPl , the Planck scale, and show that quintessence naturally arises from a supersymmetry breaking hidden sector. As long as supersymmetry is broken by the F-term of a Polonyi-like field coupled to the quintessence field in the Kähl...
متن کاملInflation and Supersymmetry Breaking
We study the connection between inflation and supersymmetry breaking in the context of an O’Raifeartaigh model which can account for both hybrid inflation and a true vacuum where supersymmetry is spontaneously broken. For a weakly coupled inflaton field, the dynamics during the inflationary phase can be determined by the supersymmetry breaking scale MS ∼ 1010 GeV, even if HI ≫ m3/2. The spectru...
